Carcass Creek is a public river in Wayne County, Utah, managed by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. You can fish it on a Utah fishing licence — there is no separate trout stamp. Under Utah’s 2010 Public Waters Access Act you may float and fish where the river crosses private land, but you may NOT touch the streambed or bank without permission; legal wade access is on public land, at bridges and road crossings, and on the stretches with a public-access easement or Walk-In Access agreement. Blue Ribbon and cutthroat-conservation reaches carry their own tackle and bag rules. Public access confirmed via UDWR stocked water.
A Utah mountain trout stream — wild and UDWR-stocked rainbow, brown, brook, cutthroat and tiger trout in the Wasatch, Uinta and Boulder Mountain drainages; cold, tumbling freestone water, some of it Blue Ribbon.
It runs roughly 10 miles through the Southeastern Region region. Anglers here mostly fish for rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout; tiger trout are also on record. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Singletree Creek and Spring Branch.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Utah; a few waters have seasonal or hourly restrictions (spawning closures, some community ponds and state-park waters) — check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook for the specific water.
Boats: Utah rivers are floated by drift boat or raft (the Green below Flaming Gorge especially) or waded; the big reservoirs take trailered boats via a state-park ramp. Every boat needs an AIS inspection and the mussel-aware course, and any craft off Lake Powell must be decontaminated.
Bank & bivvy camping: Roughly two-thirds of Utah is federal land -- dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed state-park and Forest Service campgrounds on nearly every major reservoir. A few Wasatch Front canyon watersheds ban camping entirely.
Tackle: The general Utah trout limit is 4, but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules -- the Green River, the Provo, Blue Ribbon water and the cutthroat-conservation streams especially -- and native chub, sucker, Colorado pikeminnow, bonytail and June sucker must be released. Check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook.

Anyone 12 or older needs a Utah fishing licence — the resident annual is about $40, the non-resident annual about $100, with 1-day (~$16 resident / ~$25 non-resident), 3-day and 7-day options. There is no separate trout stamp. Children under 12 fish free (or on a $5 youth licence to keep their own limit). Buy from the Division of Wildlife Resources at wildlife.utah.gov. A Utah fishing licence covers this water — it is on the UDWR stocking programme.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
